{"product_id":"9781935797463","title":"The Last Crimes of Charles Mistinguett","description":"Praise from Publishers Weekly: \"Charming thriller . . . chases across Europe and tightly written gun battles. A delight for anyone who enjoys French crime cinema from the 1970s.\"\u003cp\u003eAnd from Booklist: \"This slick thriller combines the noirish cool of French cinema (think Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai) with an almost jaunty, witty charm (Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief and Charade). Stylishly written and cleverly plotted crime fiction.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Mistinguett, the French-Algerian narrator of James L. Ross's newest novel, is a retired criminal living on the Cote d'Azur who wants nothing more than to be left alone to enjoy his ill-gotten gains. He would never claim to be innocent of all things, only of the charges laid against him by the French government: murder, extortion, terrorism--useful lies if agents of the state plan to execute a man without trial. James L. Ross's debut novel Long Pig was a 2012 Shamus nominee for best paperback original. And reviewing Death in Budapest, Publishers Weekly declared, \"Fans of hard-edged spy novels will hope that this is but the first of many from Ross . . . twists straight out of John Le Carre [and] sardonic wit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perfect Crime Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062342009072,"sku":"9781935797463","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935797463_p0.jpg?v=1763656751","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935797463","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
